SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 736,099, dated August 11, 1903.

Application iiler March 10, 1902. Serial No. 97,472. (No model.)

following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain novel features of construction for enabling me to heat various apartments in a building` from a single stove or furnace. It is' particularly adapted to domestic use, and it is here shown as applied to an ordinary heating-stove in a lower room, with provision for heating one of the rooms above.

Of course the heating apparatus could be extended to two or to any number of rooms without departing from the principles of my invention. Y

This specification is' an exact description of twoforms of my invention, while the claims define the actual scope thereof.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this speciiication, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a sectional View of the apparatus. Fig. 1L is a detail section showing the deflector, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view showing a modiiied arrangement of the apparatus.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 1, a indicates the lower room, in which is situated the stove or heater b, and a indicates the room above. c indicates the flue or chimney of the' building, and d the ordinary stovepipe leading from the heater h into the iiue. Directly opposite the outlet of the pipe d and within the flue c is located the concavo-convex drum-like deilector e, (best shown in Fig. 1,)the concave controlling apparatus f2. The pipe-section f extends upward and leads` into the room a by way of a register or the like f3; Located within the stovepipe d is a pipe g, which has its lower end turned laterally, as indicated at g', and passedl through the walls of the pipe CZ into communication with the room a. The other end of the pipe g projects through the discharge end of the pipe d into the flue c and through the concave wall 'of the drum e, so as to communicate with the interior of the drum. From the pipe g within the stovepipe CZ leads .a branch g2, which extends upward through the loorof the room a' and communicates therewith by a register or the like g3. The heated gases passing from the stovepipe CZ will impinge directly against the drum e and thoroughly heat the same, and then in passing up the .iiue will heat the pipe-section f. The pipe-section f draws in air from the room a, and this air is passed through the drum e to be thoroughly heated, after which it passes up by the pipesectionf into the roomv a'. Air is also drawn. in at the point g' by the pipe g from the room a and from room cd through register g3 and pipe g2, and this air passes up to the Vdrum e and up section f and through register f3 int-o room ed, the air in pipe g being meanwhile heated by the burning gases within the pipe df. or other means for controlling the passage of the air land gases in one direction or the other may be provided, as desired, and since these are matters of ordinary mechanical skill they have not been here illustrated.

The form of the invention shown in Fig. 2

' embodies a drum e similar to the drum eand Dampers apipe-sectionfi,similarto the pipe-section f.

rllhe stov'epipe d in Fig. 2 has an air-tube g4 therein, which leads directly to the drum e. p

In this modified form of the invention the pipe-section f and branch (2 with therappurtenances are omitted. In other respects the principle ofthe device is the same as that beforedescribed.

Vai-ions changes in the form and details of my invention may be resorted to at will without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Hence l consider myself entitled to all forms of the invention as may lie within the intent of my claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination with the building and the smoke-flue thereof, of a heater in one room of the building, a pipe leading the burning gases therefrom and discharging into the flue, a drum located Within the flue opposite the said pipe to be heated by the gases therefrom, an air-pipe in the stovepipe and having one end leading through the Wall of the pipe and its other end projecting through the discharge end of said pipe and opening into thc said drum, and a pipe leading from the drum to another apartment ol' the house.

2. The combination with the building and the smoke-liuc thereof, of a heaterin one room of the building, a pipe leading the burning gases therefrom and discharging` into the flue, a drum located within the flue opposite the said pipe to be heated by the gases therefrom, an air-pipe in the stovepipe and having one end leading through the wall of the pipe and its other end projecting through the discharge end ol' said pipe and opening into the said drum, a pipe leading from the drum to another compartment of the house, and an additional pipe leading from the drum downward through the `due and thence into the first-named room, to draw air therefrom, for the purpose specified.

3. The combination with the building and the smoke-flue thereof, of a heater i n one room of -the building, a pipe leading the burning gases therefrom and discharging into the flue, a drum located Within the flue opposite the said pipe to be heated by the gases therefrom, an air-pipe leading from said room through the stovepipe and communicating with the interior of the drum, a pipe leading from the drum to another compartment of the house, and a branch pipe extendin g from the air-pipe within the stovepipe outward from the stoveppe and into said second compartment.

4. The combination with the building and the smoke-flue thereof ,of a heater in one room of the building, a stovepipe passing therefrom into the flue, a eoneavo-convex drum located in the flue with its concave side opposite the discharge of the stovepipe to be heated by the gases therefrom, an air-pipe passing from the room through the stovepipe and communicating with the interior of the drum, a branch pipe extending from the air-pipe into a second room of the building, a pipe-section running through the Hue from the drum to said second room of the building, and an additional pipe-section located in the flue and extending from the lirst-named room and communicating with the interior of the drum.

5. In a heating apparatus of the character.

described, the combination with the smokepipe of, a heater, of a concavo-convex drum adapted to be arranged in the smoke-flue or chimney with its concave side opposite the smoke-pipe of the heater, an air-pipe arranged in the smoke-pipe and having one end openin g through the wall of the smoke-pipe in the room in which the heater is located, and its other end opening into the drum through the concave side thereof, and a pipe leading from the drum for conveying the hot air from the drum to a room above that in which the heater is arranged.

6. In a heating apparatus of the character described, the combination with the smoke` pipe of a heater, of a concave-convex drum adapted to be located in the smoke-flue or chimney with its concave side opposite the smoke-pipe, an air-pipe arranged in the smokepipe and having one end passed through the wall of the pipe and its other end opening into the drum through its concave side, and pipes leadin from opposite sides of the drum, one of said pipes conveying air from the room in which the heater is located to the drum and the other conveying the hot air from the said drum to an upper room of a building.

7. In a heating apparatus of the character described, the combination with the smokepipe, of a heater, of a concavo-convex drum adapted to be arranged in the smoke-flue or chimney, with its concave side opposite the smoke-pipe, an air-pipe arranged in the smokepipe and having one end passed through the Wall of the pipe and its other end projecting through the discharge end of said pipe and' opening into the drum through its concave side, pipes leading from opposite sides of the drum for admitting air to and conveying air from said drum, and a pipe leading 'from the air-pipe out through the smoke-pipe.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
